The dinner between the incoming president and Bezos, the executive chairman of Amazon and founder of Blue Origin, occurred on Wednesday night at Mar-a-Lago, according to the Trump transition team.
Outlets like the New York Post and the Washington Post reported earlier on the meeting.
Bezos’ meeting with Trump had been expected. The president-elect revealed to CNBC on Dec. 12 that the two had plans to sit down, saying Bezos was "coming up."

Bezos said "big congratulations to our 45th and now 47th President on an extraordinary political comeback and decisive victory" on Nov. 6 after Trump was declared the winner of the presidential election.
"No nation has bigger opportunities," the Amazon founder’s X post said. "Wishing @realDonaldTrump all success in leading and uniting the America we all love."

Musk made an appearance at the Wednesday dinner between Trump and Bezos, calling it a "great conversation," according to The Washington Post.
